Hi guys,

I, like a few others, will (budget allowing) be stepping for the first time into the NAS arena.

I've seen\read a few of the other posts, and unless there are any overwhelming goods reasons not to choose this particular brand\model, it'll be either:

• Synology DS216 (http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?z=p&p=NASSYN02162&name=Synology-DiskStation-DS216-2-Bay-NAS-Server-CPU-Ma)
• Synology DS216 Play (http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?z=p&p=NASSYN02164&name=Synology-DiskStation-DS216play-2-Bay-NAS-Server-CP)

From what I've seen and read the Synology devices are a bit more user friendly than the QNAP.

Drives will be either:

• Seagate 3Tb NAS (http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?z=p&p=HDDSE8030&name=Seagate-NAS-HDD-ST3000VN000-3TB-64MB-Cache-SATA-6.)
• WD Red 3Tb (http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?z=p&p=HDDWD3005&name=WD-3TB-Red-3.5-SATA3-5400RPM-64M-Hard-Drive-Design)

The weak point in all of this is the TV. It's a older model Sony (Sony Bravia KLV-40V300A), so no network connectivity at all. Ideally, you replace the TV, but that is out of scope. However, there is a Network AV receiver sitting in the mix too (Onkyo TX-NR608, basically everything into the receiver where possible, and HDMI through). To have any content on the NAS playback through the TV, will to my mind, have to be through my Xbox One (HDMI connected to the AV Receiver)

This brings me to the Router. A Dlink DIR-600. Is this unit going to be enough to cope with the demands of streaming content from the NAS, as well as having a laptop and smartphones access the web through the WiFi?

If it's not, what's a reliable and cost efficient ($100 - $170) replacement?
